I had the absolute pleasure of working with Natalie, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final photos. Her creative eye is unmatched, and she provided such thoughtful guidance on posing, which made the entire process feel natural and effortless. Natalie has a true talent for capturing moments in a way that feels both timeless and artistic. I also want to highlight her editing for film photos—it’s nothing short of incredible! The tones and textures she brings out are so beautifully done and added an extra layer of charm to the photos. If you’re looking for a photographer with an exceptional eye and a warm, professional approach, I can’t recommend Natalie enough. She’s truly a gem!

  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

Zoe grew up in a small town in Western Canada, earned a degree in fashion design in Vancouver, and lived 12 awesome years in NYC, before recently relocating to Seattle WA. After a rewarding career as a women's footwear designer, she left the fashion industry behind to follow her passion of becoming a wedding and family photographer full-time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Asking Zoe to photograph our wedding was one of the best wedding decisions we made! Zoe is an artist. We’ll treasure our photos for the rest of our lives. Zoe is definitely the person you want to spend your wedding day with (after your spouse, duh)! She has such a calm and cool demeanor and everyone loved working with her. Zoe will also do whatever it takes to get THE perfect shot. We chose a challenging venue, the Seattle Aquarium, with very specific lighting requirements to protect the sea life. Zoe went out of her way to scope out spots and test equipment before the big day. Zoe is so creative when it comes to lighting and all of our wedding guests have been gushing about how cool her photos are.

Ashley Vandervelde Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

Ashley is the best in the business. Period. We were initially incredibly excited to discover Ashley had our wedding date available, however, the result she delivered exceeded all expectations. Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence. If you are lucky enough, hire Ashley to capture moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Five stars is not sufficient to describe the experience Ashley provides for her clients.

CGZ Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $900
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

Charlotte Gonzalez is a Washington-based wedding photographer serving the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Her work blends editorial and fine art storytelling, capturing genuine emotion and refined, timeless moments. With experience across the spectrum from dark & moody, true-to-color, and light & airy she collaborates closely with each couple to create imagery that reflects their vision and their story. Picture what you love. Let’s capture it—beautifully, intentionally, and forever.

From our very first interaction, it was clear that Char was the perfect wedding photographer for us. She came prepared with a second shooter (her hubby, Dan) and they are quite the duo! They were able to communicate without words and anticipate what the other is doing to ensure that they are covering all angles beautifully. They are incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and thoughtful in their approach, which gave us complete confidence leading up to the big day. Their experience truly shows—they anticipated moments before they happened and captured both the big highlights and the quiet, emotional details we didn’t even realize were unfolding. Char's calm, steady presence was invaluable on a day that can feel overwhelming. She kept things moving efficiently without ever making us feel rushed, and her clear direction helped group photos go smoothly and quickly. She has a wonderful balance of professionalism and warmth, making everyone—from our wedding party to our grandparents—feel relaxed and cared for. She has a remarkable eye for storytelling, documenting the day exactly as it felt rather than just how it looked. The candid moments, genuine laughter, and raw emotion she captured are priceless. She was incredibly adaptable, handling last-minute changes, lighting challenges, and unexpected situations with grace and creativity. In addition, her follow-through after the wedding was just as impressive. From sneak peeks to final delivery, everything was timely, beautifully presented, and exceeded our expectations. She is not just a photographer—she is a trusted professional who elevates the entire wedding experience. We cannot recommend her and her hubby highly enough!

Many things have changed since I discovered photography at the age of 12, I've traveled the world, received my degree in marketing, got married to my favorite human, and even moved from my home country of Ukraine to the US (well, that's a story for some other time :)! One thing always accompanied me though - my passion for photography! This passion allowed me to meet some absolutely incredible people and capture the most meaningful moments for them! I cannot be more grateful for my childhood dream to become a reality!

Awarded Best of Zola
Firstly I’d like to say, we are so incredibly blessed having crossed paths with Tanya! Tanya shot our elopement this past August and we could not be any more happy with all of the work she does! You can tell how devoted she is to her couples. She really takes the time to make you feel comfortable, to shoot little details, and so beautifully captures your love for one another. She is so personable and treats you as if you’re a friend from the very beginning! She is a true artist and is so incredibly talented! She creates masterpieces that are timeless and romantic that we will treasure until the end of time! I cried during my wedding day and then again when I got my full album back! We had an amazing experience and from the bottom of our hearts we cannot express our gratitude enough for helping make this day unforgettable.

Shaunae Teske is a top Seattle Wedding Photographer that specializes in creating genuine, joyful, and intentional imagery that can be passed on for generations. Along with creating timeless imagery, her legacy as a Seattle Wedding Photographer is to make all her sweet couples feel loved and valued.

We are so glad that we had Shaunae photograph our wedding! She was very helpful and kind in the phone calls we had from the early stages of planning to the week before the wedding. She sent a very helpful guidebook when we locked her in and I found it to be super useful! Closer to the wedding, she listened to all our questions and gave us her professional input which helped us make decisions like where pictures were going to take place, who should be included in family portraits and some timeline decisions. So, all in all, the logistics were great! If the logistics were great, then the pictures were perfect! We have so many lovely pictures from our wedding of us, our family, our friends, our dog and all the details! Shaunae gave us a sneak preview before we even left for our honeymoon which was a welcome surprise :) We are so happy with how they came out and we will cherish them forever. Again, so glad that we got to work with Shaunae; it was a great decision!

Roddy Chung Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

I believe every wedding has its striking moment. The moment when you walk down the aisle seeing your husband-to-be on the other side gently waiting, and teardrops involuntarily slip from your eyes. The moment when you throw away your self-consciousness to dance with the love of your life no matter how funny you look. And of course, the moment when you witness over 50 years of marriage still standing strong, with many more years to come. That is the proof of true love. That’s why I decided to pursue wedding photography - I want to preserve those striking moments for you.

We had a micro-wedding in a tiny chapel just outside of Austin and choosing the right photographer felt especially important because the day was so intimate. From the beginning Roddy really understood exactly what we were hoping to capture. Roddy is truly a visionary! His artistic eye captured meaningful moments that we now get to go back and relive forever! On the day of the wedding, his attention to detail and calm, confident direction allowed us to be completely present. I never once worried about posing or what to do because he took full ownership of his craft making the experience so fun and natural. From our pre-wedding conversations to discuss details and vision to the care he put into creating our photo album, Roddy showed great professionalism and he is honestly the best at what he does. We couldn't be happier with the dreamy images and feel so grateful to have found someone who genuinely loves what they do. If you were considering hiring Roddy know that you are in good hands!

Amy Kiel Photography

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

I'm Amy & I'm so glad you're here! So, you’ve found your person & you’re both taking the plunge, eh? Rad! Tell me everything! I gravitated towards photographing weddings because they are so incredible to witness & everyone deserves stunning imagery of their vows, of their family, of their teary-eyed, sniffly first dances with dad. I am an intentional portrait photographer & documentarian. I like to take it slow. I’ll be a fly on the wall when necessary but I'll definitely go after a good portrait when I see it. With our powers combined, together we can create some stunning imagery you'll cherish for always.

Amy Kiel was an absolute dream to work with! Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she has a genuine warmth and kindness that sets her apart from others in her field. Her attention to detail and amazing talent were evident in the GORGEOUS final photos from our wedding!! We could not have been happier with our experience in working with her, and the lasting memories she captured of our special day. We would recommend her 1,000 times over!!

Anna Peters Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Anna spent nearly two decades training as a classical ballerina and photographing dance, often sneaking cameras backstage to shoot from the wings while still in costume. She was hooked on wedding photography instantly - the mosaic of emotion and energy that cascades across a wedding day felt like a natural extension of the magic she chased on stage as a dancer. Anna lives and works out of Seattle, though she’s lucky enough to follow her clients up and down the West Coast and occasionally across the globe.

I cannot give enough positive praise for Anna and her beautiful work. Her talent is incredible and is only surpassed by her true compassion for people. Both create a perfect scenario for stunning wedding photography, especially her film photography. She took the time to understand the vision for our wedding and the relationships most important to us so we could have photos that match our priorities. Anna also has a wonderful balance of professionalism and chillness. We were never stressed from photo to photo. She let us know what to expect and also found opportunities for magically unplanned moments. Her photos on our walls are memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

I would absolutely recommend grace and oury memories. She was so responsive and organized with making sure we got all the perfect shots.

We are so excited to see our photos and have no doubt that they will be so beautiful. Thank you cso much for helping to make our day so wonderful!!

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic.

And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Dionne Kraus Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

I am a firm believer that friendship comes from learning the weird and quirky about a person, and still wanting to hang out with them after. And, since you will literally spend more time with your photographer than most anyone else on your wedding day, I want to be friends. We NEED to be friends. Like, I’ll-probably-end-up-holding-your-dress-up-while-you-pee type friends. That’s practically BFF status. I’m not only in the business of capturing your epically rad and emotional moments, I am also in the business of making lasting friendships, both of which I’m really awesome at.

My husband and I loved working with Dionne as our wedding photographer! Leading up to our wedding day Dionne had a calm, but energetic energy that made us feel comfortable and confident. She communicated often and was very thorough in what to expect in her emails and any information she needed from us. On the day of our wedding working with her was a breeze! She showed up early, and navigated the flow of the day with ease and flexibility as our timeline shifted a bit. I really appreciated her shooting and editing style - she helped guide us, but really just helped us be ourselves and find wonderful candid moments to capture the essence of the day. Photos turned out amazingly beautiful. I'd be lucky to work with Dionne again!

Awarded Best of Zola
Valerie is absolutely amazing. Obviously her work is so good, but she made the experience so much more! She was so incredibly easy to work with, so timely, couldn’t have been nicer, and overall an amazing photographer. I would choose her a million times over! My dad actually thought she was one of my friends from high school or college, because of how personable she was to all of our friends and family. She listened to everything we wanted and definitely delivered. We had a call a few weeks ago to discuss our timeline and she was so patient and helped us understand how the day would go / what we actually wanted. There were times when I was stressed and I can’t even tell you how calm she was and made us feel. My husband hates having his picture taking and didn’t expect to like the experience very much. He could not stop talking about how comfortable Valerie and her second shooter made him feel. We chose to do super 8 as well and I am so glad we did. I love that she has film option ad ons, as it definitely fit the vibe we were going for. Overall- Valerie is SO great to work with. She is so talented. I would absolutely recommend her- you won’t regret it!!!
